UNAI EMERY is confident that world-record signing Neymar will stay at Paris Saint-Germain.
Reports claim the Brazilian is unhappy with life in the French capital after completing a £198million move from Barcelona over the summer.
It’s believed Neymar fancies a return to his former stomping ground, with current Spanish champions Real Madrid also said to be interested.
The 25-year-old was even reduced to tears during a recent press conference following questions on his future in Paris, and fresh reports claim there is NO release clause in his Parc des Princes contract.
But Emery reckons Neymar still needs time to adjust to life in Ligue 1, and has dismissed suggestions PSG could be willing to let their star man quit the club.
Emery said: “It’s the same for all players when they are adapting to a new city, a new club, new team-mates and that sort of thing. It’s a process and it’s like that with all of the new guys.

“Conversations with all of the players, Neymar included, are to discuss all of those sorts of things – he’s doing better and better. What happens on the pitch remains the most important thing.
“All of these rumours are not important. What counts are the discussions that I have with him – how to be in the squad, on the pitch but also about him.

“Players are professionals but they are also people. Some need affections, others need guidance. First of all, though, they need to be understood.
“We are very happy with him and he will succeed here. I don’t know what is being said. Everybody here is happy though. He will stay and succeed here.”
